Train tickets are expensive at the best of times, so step forward finance blogger Andy Webb with his advice on how to save your money - splitting train fares.

He explained all to 大象传媒 Radio Berkshire's Sarah Walker.

Andy Webb, Finance Blogger:

"It has been around for a while [splitting train tickets], but it has become more popular as more and more websites encourage you to do this because it's a way for them to make some money.

"Say you are getting a train from Reading to Newcastle - by using these websites you can get exactly the same journey but by splitting the journey into different tickets...by some bizarre reason this can bring down the overall cost.

"The longer your journey, the further your travelling, and there will be lots of different rail providers."
